I run an update tool (let's say up2date) on machine 1,
it figures out it needs to download a few headers,
then downloads 50 Megabytes of RPMs, then install things.
I run the same update tool on machine 2,
it figures out it needs to download a few headers,
then downloads 50 Megabytes of RPMs, then install things.
=> Replace all "download" in the second paragraph by
look at machine 1 previously downloaded headers
and RPMs and don't download anything from the net.
